Reduce Workplace Risks: From Slippery Floors to Everyday Emergencies


According to the National Safety Council, slips, trips, and falls are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries—responsible for tens of thousands of incidents every year. While they may sound minor, they’re among the most common reasons employees miss work, and they cost businesses millions in lost productivity and insurance claims.

That’s why workplace risk reduction should start with something simple: the ground beneath your feet.



Three frames show close ups of mats. On the left, there is a close up showing the texture of a scraper mat in a dark grey-black color. In the middle is an entrance mat, which is a typical carpeted mat in a dark grey. On the right, a comfort mat is shown in black with holes in the rubber to allow for liquids to flow through. Each photo is labeled with the type of mat that is shown.

Step One: Stop Slips Before They Start

The easiest way to reduce workplace injuries? Start from the ground up. Entrance mats, scraper mats, and anti-fatigue mats all serve specific safety purposes:

  • Scraper Mats: Stop dirt, moisture, and debris before it ever reaches your floors.
  • All Season Entrance Mats: Trap additional moisture and keep floors clean and slip-resistant.
  • Anti-Fatigue Mats: Reduce strain for employees who stand for long periods—think hairdressers, receptionists, dog groomers, and veterinarians. When people’s feet and joints are supported, they’re more alert, more comfortable, and less prone to injury.

Each mat in Packerland’s lineup plays a key role in workplace risk reduction, absorbing moisture, preventing slips, and providing ergonomic comfort for the people who keep your business running.

Step Two: Sanitize and Stay Healthy

In the wake of COVID-19, every business is more aware of hygiene and disease prevention. Cold and flu season only adds to the challenge. Unsanitary restrooms and poorly stocked facilities increase risk for both customers and employees, spreading germs fast in shared spaces.

Together, these systems reduce workplace risk by stopping the spread of illness and staying compliant with health and safety standards.

Step Three: Be Ready for Emergencies

From minor cuts to life-threatening cardiac events, preparation can make the difference between chaos and calm. A fully stocked, OSHA-compliant first aid kit and an accessible, ready-to-use AED can save lives in the critical moments before help arrives.

Packerland offers regular inspections, restocks, and replacements for medical supplies—so you’re never caught unprepared when seconds matter most.

Workplace Safety Requires a System

Winter in Wisconsin brings a lot of extra risk: wet entryways, icy parking lots, and more people indoors spreading germs. By combining floor safety, hygiene management, and emergency readiness, Packerland helps businesses create a safer, more productive workplace across the board.

When you partner with Packerland, you’re not just getting mats—you’re getting a complete workplace risk reduction system designed to keep people safe, facilities compliant, and businesses running smoothly.
